Are fecking crap, how many times did one of his crosses fail to get over the first defender standing in his way?

He should be made to spend the next two weeks in training crossing the ball, what a waste it is to get him in such good positions only for his delivery to be of schoolboy level.

The whole united team including fergie and the fans should be ashamed of that display; calling for handballs all the time, bitching at the officials because things wernt going their way...thats not the united way, weve had problems with refs for years but you just get on with your game, beckham really is a cry baby sometimes and that fecking hair....

im not sure forlan is going to be all that great, he is young and so maybe has a lot to learn but without his youthfull enthusiasm he would be a poor buy at 7 mil...im prepared to give him a season or two to adjust but if hes not performing by then i would get shut.

There, thats my moan for the day, hopefully when we beat the arse and forlan scores from a neville cross things will be hunky dory again :)
 
G Neville is better CB than RB
P Neville is excellent RB IMO
MY option in defence:
P Neville
Silvestre
Blanc
G Neville(Johnsen}
 
wtf do yous want? he's a defender not a winger! earlier in the season it was bash his defending time, now its he's not a good enough attacker.get a grip!
what about slagging Giggsy whos distribution and finishing was woeful on Saturday!?

Don't be silly, we don't slag off the favourites (Giggs, becks, etc.) they could give away ten own goals in a match and still have no comment made about them. The nevilles only have to sneeze and they get a thread or two slagging them off.
 
I think Gary Neville is mainly responsible for the improvement in Blanc.

Peersonally, I think he's had a great season on the whole, and should be in the centre.
 
its just frustrating to for to watch neville make these overlapping runs only to hit the ball straight at a defender.

Im not saying he hasnt done ok this year, his defending has not been bad, but crossing the ball should not be that hard for a proffesional footballer - i can honestly cross the ball better myself...

lets face it, it has been in general a fecked up year for us with stam being sold and fergies on again off again retirement saga...

i really hope we go on to win the league but to be honest i can only see arsenal taking it now, they have a solid defence and will simply shut us down at old trafford, kind of like the boro did once they had scored. the only chance we have is that pires is injured without him they are not quite as creative a force.

i would say considering the shit thats gone on finishing in the top 3 and making the quarter finals of the champions league makes for not a bad season, we can re-group next season and come on strong again. anything else would be a real bonus.
 
If Gary Neville has to spend the next 2 weeks taking crosses in training then Giggsy should be made go 1 on 1 with the keepers for the next 2 weeks and maybe we'll see his scoring rate improve. He is a legend but he could have twice as many career goals to his name if could score bread and butter goals.

Giggs should go on the 2-week crossing course too. Classy dribbler, but his final ball is crap no matter what he does with it.

nah Barca he's got a point, Giggs is one of my favourite players but his end product at times can be 'frustrating'
Maybe he should take lessons from Larry in composure.
 
Giggs has the potential to be the greatest player in the world, but it's up to him whether he decides to use that potential or not :(
